Never had a problem w/ anything, except Carlisle. Lol, I totally messed that one up. The threads about Renesme...RESUME. I bought fell out of my chair laughing.

*~* Do you think that I could be scary?*~**~* What if I'm not a superhero? What if I'm the bad guy?*~**~* As long as I'm going to hell, I migh as well do it thoroughly*~**~* You smell so good in the rain*~*

I didn't have too many problems with most of the names because I'd actually heard some, like Carlisle and Siobahn, before and I was a good guesser. I did mess up Aro--pronouncing it Arrow and Quileute--pronouncing it Kwee-loot. I'm glad that that was cleared up. I think that Nahuel is pronounced Na-oo-el--at least in Spanish--the h is silent. I've really enjoyed reading the postings--some of which really made me laugh--Resume--LOL.

And I always say Leah as Lee-uh, and now that I've heard the lovely Lexicon ladies say Lay-uh, I'm curious how it's supposed to be.

I was curious on Renata too. I always imagined it to be "Rhe-na-ta" but my friend says "Ren-et-ter" Which is right/closest?

I've always pronounced Leah "Lee-uh" I've never met anybody called Leah when you pronouce it as "Lay-uh." Just that paticular persons decision to have their name said like, that prehaps? I would imagine SM would want it pronounced "Lee-uh"

Isn't that how you pronounce an arrow anyway, with the sound like in father? (Or is this just my British accent?)

I never thought of it like that, I always pronounced it Aro -like arrow- I'll have to correct myself. lol.
